Should I clean my car before bringing it in?

Updated 7 July 2026

You don't have to, but it definitely doesn't hurt! We're going to assess your car based on its actual condition, regardless, but presenting a clean car shows you've looked after it and helps us see the true condition of the paintwork and interior. A quick wash and hoover is plenty - no need to go mad with professional valets.
